Ripken is my favorite retired player and I recently met him in person with my cousin in tow. I'll share some cards, a baseball Ripken signed for me, and a photo showing me, my cousin, and Cal :) :

Hey Russ, I got outbid. I never thought it would go that high in the first place. So I got second place. I think it went to that one guy who said he was part of a whole network of Ripken collectors. I know he tried to call me a couple of times but I wasn't around. I'm sure he may have tried to contact you also. This was maybe a year or two back.

PS- that is a sweet ultimate patch :!:

WOW AL!
Yours is way better for that kind of auction money! ;)
Beautiful card bud.

I was very surprised with the 3 bill price tag too.

I added a signed 8 x 10 from Cal over the weekend. Cal graciously sent a signed 8 x 10 picture for a disaster relief fair I coordinated. I organized a community effort to help our flooded teachers replace personal teaching resources not covered by FEMA or insurance. I originally set a goal of $10,000. For a town of 4,000, I thought $10K was a huge target to raise over 6 weeks. We unofficially raised $17,500 in cash!

Having Cal's support meant so much. I can't put in words how much it meant to know that Cal had our back!

I LOVE the Century Marks autos. I'm so pissed I sold my Schilling off many moons ago.

Congrats on the fundraising Chris. It just goes to show what a stand up guy Cal is.

Thank you so much. Is anyone else watching the logo auction ending soon? Am I missing something or does the logo patch not look like the one on the jersey pictured on the back of the card? Maybe it is my screen.

What's the link? Which one?

By the way, that's is how Cal Ripken Jr would do - help those in need. I have the utmost respect for him, period.
